Reviewer 2 Report

This is an important contribution to the study of SWFs.

 

However, I would recommend a more nuanced approach to the study of SWFs and its broader implications. This article is about SWFs with the Norwegian SWF as a case. Do the findings travel (ie have broader explanatory power for other SWFs)? For doing this I would welcome a brief engagement with this matter:

 

It should be acknowledged that there is considerable variation among SWFs – in terms of their funding source, governance and mandates. There are saving funds, stabilization funds, development funds, investment corporations.

Different SWF mandates have different implications for performance in regard to wealth preservation and budget contribution.

 

The variation of SWFs is also reflected in their different governance. There are SWFs that own the assets that they manage (e.g. Temasek) while others (e.g. Sing GIC) do not own the assets they manage but manage the assets on behalf of state agencies (e.g. MinFin).
